Isabel

Ugly dark grey skies here in Silver Spring, just over the District line. Other than that, not much sign of Isabel—yet. No rain, some light wind out of the east. Yesterday, before sunset, you could see long, thready cloud striations in the south, not unlike the grooves of a record. I’ll post updates, at least as long as the power holds out.

Update: Just got notice that the university is shutting down and disconnecting its servers at noon as a precaution to protect them from surges—so, no emaill and no blog until after the storm.

Update 12:34 PM: Server still up (obviously). A light, fine rain beginning to fall.
